Food Gawker

Today my daughter, Beatrix, turns fifteen. Having grown up in farmers markets, she not only has a culinary knowledge of food but a passion for it as well. She is also a “food gawker.”

This morning, when I unpacked my market purchases onto the kitchen counter, Beatrix showed me images of recipes that would suit her fancy, and it gave me an idea that might help you, should you cook for all ages in your household: Use Food Gawker to pique interest among your younger diners.

A common refrain at New Orleans farmers markets is the novelty song “Yes, We Have No Bananas.” It’s from the 1923 Broadway revue "Make It Snappy.” Though the French Market was resplendent in bananas back in the 1920s, in today's localvore markets bananas are not part of the equation. Isn’t that funny? They grow all over town.

You know, one of the benefits of open-air farmers markets is their flexibility and mobility. By contrast, brick and mortar retail is land-locked, and thus unable to respond to changes in neighborhoods. Farmers markets are nimble. They can pack up and relocate to sunnier spots.
